What is the remedy named after Mithridates, believed to fortify the body against poisons?

• A. Mithridate
• B. Panacea
• C. Antidote Complex
• D. Elixir of Life

Answer: (A)

The idea here is mithridatism—the belief that you can build protection against poisons by introducing small, gradual exposures. The remedy that is named after Mithridates and historically tied to this concept is Mithridate. It became a famous, long-standing antidote formula in antiquity and later periods, associated with the notion of fortifying the body against poisons, which is why the name fits the question so precisely. Panacea is a legendary universal cure, not specifically linked to Mithridates. An antidote complex sounds generic and isn’t a historical term tied to Mithridates. The Elixir of Life belongs to myth about eternal life rather than a poison-resistance remedy named after Mithridates.
